Description of key information

Chloroform has no flash point and is therefore not flammable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

According to the REACH "guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment", chapter R7A, a study is not required because chloroform is a liquid under normal environmental conditions which is not pyrophoric or flammable on contact with water. For such liquids the key measure of the flammability is the flash point.

Justification for classification or non-classification

As chloroform has no flash point, this substance is not flammable.
